COMO Uma Bhutan

COMO Uma Paro is visually breathtaking and serene — but sadly, my stay was overshadowed by a deeply unsettling experience. $1,600 in cash disappeared from my room following the hotel’s night turndown service. I reported the incident immediately. The hotel responded with a polite but vague internal investigation, ultimately stating there was “no evidence of theft.” At no point was I asked for a formal statement, nor were external authorities involved. This isn’t about the money. It’s about the absence of real accountability — a fundamental failure for a property that positions itself as a leader in luxury hospitality. I write this not with anger, but with clarity: future guests should be aware that while COMO Uma Paro offers peace and beauty, that calm exterior may not extend to how they handle serious security concerns.

Spectacular property, beautiful pool, wonderful staff. The pictures don't do justice - our room was bright, modern, and the size of a large apartment complete with kitchen, living room, bedroom, and massive bedroom. The restaurant was wonderful and we returned to eat there again on our last night even though we weren't staying at the resort. Everyone went out of our way to make our stay perfect and we felt like royalty.

Como Uma Paro was a good choice. The hotel itself is set high above the Paro valley - with views of the very difficult approach into Paro International Airport ( don’t worry, there’s no noise pollution from the few daily incoming flights). The rooms are on the smaller side but very stylish and well appointed. The restaurant is the show stopper with wood stoves and an overall stunning design. Service was excellent. The menu in the restaurant changes every 2 days - we were unlucky that the menu was static for the 2 nights we were there. The food is good - but not excellent. The bar at the hotel looks like an afterthought and really needs “something” to make it more cosy and appealing but the pomegranate cosmo’s were very tasty! Do make time for an archery lesson - they’re included and we had so much fun learning the Bhutanese National sport with a longbow. This was a definite highlight! Would we stay again- pretty sure we would.

A nice hotel in the Paro valley before for the airport and the hike up to the Tigers Nest. Would recommend the rooms with the lovely valley views and small balconies. There is an extensive spa there that we didn’t use but did use their lovely swimming pool large. Good food and service in their restaurant usually. However our one issue was that despite them saying breakfast starts at 6.30, even when we pre-ordered our breakfast the night before for 6.30 it didn’t happen and the drinks and simple breakfast didn’t arrive until 6.50 when we were due to meet our guide at 7. Considering most people stay there for that Tigers Nest hike and the guides suggest starting early to help avoiding the heat it’s very disappointing that the hotel are not actually geared up for that.

We took whole package from Como covering Uma and Punakha. Our guide was Wangda and our driver was Tsering. Our guide and driver really made our stay memorable. I wouldn't want to spoil all their caring touches but rest assured we appreciated the thoughtful surprises like the full meal "picnic" lunch by the river and the fresh juices during our hikes. The food in Como and also during the tours were good. We looked forward to breakfast and dinner. The lady at the restaurant, Tema(?) at Como Uma was really so warm and kind. The rooms were cozy and very clean. The staff were sincerely very helpful.
